The network bridge on device VMnet0 is temporarily down because the bridged Ethernet interface

))))))))))))))))) EAGERLY AWAITING FOR HELP (((((((((((((((((((((((

error : The Virtual machine may not be able to communicate with the host or with other machines on your network

I am using a windows 7 Home Basic machine. Upon that i have installed the Vmware workstation. After installing workstation i created a LINUX VM as a guest OS on it(LINUX MINT 13). after installing Linuxmint(While installing i have selected Bridged network ony). Iam accessing this linux machine from the putty in the host OS(win7)...Putty detected the Guest OS(Linux Mint) ip address and i can happily working on it for some days...I don't know how Ip address can be set to the Guest OS(Linux Mint)...

Suddenly one day i installed the Vmware Tools and now iam not able to connect to the Guest OS(Linux Mint)via ipaddress...from the host OS(win7) using putty by ip address of guest OS .....but unfortunately i didn't find the guest ip adderess while giving ifconfig -a it is not showing the ip address as shown previously(i.e. before installing Vmwaretools)
.... But i don't know how Vmnet1 and Vmnet8 adapters are created(attached images)....instead of vmnet0...

I have tried in many blogs but i didn't find answer for it...iam trying to research on it i got vexed finally i found ur site....i guess you people....will give a pleasure to me....this error is killing my head actually...

Once this issue got solved i have so many questions in my mind... i will clear it out one by one.

Who is Participating?

Your automatic adapter selection is choosing to bridge on the ethernet interface which will work when there is a network cable plugged in. When there is no cable the ethernet goes down and your PC cannot use if for connections.

If it tries to be on the 3G connection, it's a PPP link, so cannot have bridging.
NAT will work just fine on PPP, so you could change the linux machine to be on the VMnet8 instead.

This will also allow your linux machine to share your 3G internet connection.

On your windows box, there is a utility for managing the virtual network adapters vmnet(?)
Look in All Programs under VMware. It allows you to control settings such as dhcp server nat etc on these adapters.

@bevhost... But I no need any internet connection..........what i need is i need to connect the Linux VM which is on vmware workstation....i wan a access that machine using putty from my Host machine ...i.e. from windows 7....with out internet connection also i have connected previously and worked as well.... But now not able to do so.....why i don't know...what happened to my system i don't know....any way i have tried as NAT i.e. using NAT....surprisingly it worked as well...........Thanks a lot for your help and suggestion...absolutely awesome.........

A million Thanks to you......................I have another question for you if you don't mind..Iam new to DNS...I would like to connect the Linux mint machine not using ip address(inet addr:192.168.200.128 )..I would like to connect it by using a machine name....how to implement DNS...

For this i have created one windows VM...in the workstation typically i have used..windows 2008R2 server machine could you please advise how to implement DNS in network...so that i connect linux VM using the machine name not using IP address... Thank you for helping again..

now iam installing windows2008R2 server... i will tell you once it completed.
C:\Windows\System32>ipconfig /all

@bevhost Thanks a lot for your suggestions and sorry for the late reply.. actually i was in a vacation for last 4 days...i was not able to access the internet.

My aim is to know the How DNS stuff works.....as i told you earlier i would like to connect the Linux mint machine via putty from the Win7 host OS using machine name(instead ip address) So that i installed the DNS server which came along with the AD Directory services in the W2K8R2 server as VM in the vmware workstation and set the static ip as well.
Please find the attachments as well and advise awaiting for your reply HOST Machine windows7 ip address
